" I'm really sorry. I've tried calling her again?"
" Yeah. She managed to pick and she told me to go to hell and quit calling her."
I nod and pick up his phone from the countertop and go through his contact. I stop at his mother's number and dial it on my phone.
" I gotta take this." I wave my phone at him, kiss his cheek and make my way out of the kitchen to the hallway.
" Hello."
" Mia, it's Ariel." I say and enter the spare bedroom as I shut the door.
" Hi Ariel. Damn , it's been long I heard this voice. I'm sorry I didn't call to check on you when you finally got discharged. Gray made me leave the country in anger."
" It's fine. He told me what happened."
She sighs on the phone and stay quiet.
" I'm really sorry, Mia. I also got angry at him when he told me what he did. I know there's no good reason for whatever thing he did but you should please forgive. He's not himself lately."
" But why should I forgive him?" She asks. Her voice faint and threatening with pain.
